Watching movies is a really fun hobby indeed. Well, I have written before what to do if you miss watching the premiere of the a movie. And now, let's get into watching movies per se. I'm pretty sure we only have lots of purpose of watching movies, there is a reason of being entertained, with your favorite actors and actresses, wherein some of movie watchers only enjoy watching movies because of their idols on big screen, especially when they look attractive, fans will wish they were in that scene with them. Another purpose of watching movies is to ease boredome, especially, when they are only in the house, getting lazy to go outside, lounging on a comfortable couch or sofa. They will watch it, letting it finish and if they want to watch another movie, they will look for another tape and play it. Some people also watch movies because they cannot sleep, yeah, they use this as a method of sleeping. You may ask why? Because watching TV or movies really makes us fall asleep, that's why I have a TV on my room because I can't really sleep and I watch TV late at night, at 2 am. Well, good thing is the Sleepasil Co. gave me some sleeping pills and a pillow as an early christmas gift. Well, another popular reason why we watch movies is we are interested on every story of movies we watch. But, how about if you are interested on the story but as you watch the movie, you cannot follow its story? Here's the primary thing every movie watchers who want to know the story must do. We must first read the movie plot. For an instance, You will watch a movie that will premiere next month. You will need to read the plot or the summary of that movie, so that as you watch that, you already know how the story runs. You will know every detail of the story because you already know from the very start as you already have read its plot. Yeah, for me, reading books about that movie is better than you watch that. For example, I already read Fifty Shades Of Grey and I heard they will make a movie of it next year. Once I started watching that, I will know the flow of the story because I already read the book, and I'm on its second sequel, Fifty Shades Darker. The same goes with the Harry Potter series. My cousin has the complete set of its books, and like me, she prefers reading it than watching because screenwriters and movie producers usually cut the scene which make us get lost on the story. Well, at least when we read books, we will not get lost because the details are there. My brother has the Sherlock Holmes book but I dunno if he still continues to read it because of his busy schedule on school. But what I suggest, if that is the case, he must continue reading it, because he will get lost on the story if you cut your reading in a gap of more than three days. He will not know what happened on that scene even though he already knows its plot. When I read books, I don't last a day without continuing reading even one chapter per day. When I was reading Fifty Shades Of Grey, I only had it on my phone as PDF file coz I really cannot afford the book, yeah my wallet is crying. Now, what do you call on somebody who watches movie, laughing on every scene but he doesn't know the flow of its story? It's just that somebody who are entertaining himself on every flow of the scene, wishing he was on that scene with every actor and actress he watches. Even though he claims that he can visualize every scene, it is indeed unbelievable that he can find out the nature of the story with visualization matter. Remember that we cannot find the real flow of story unless we read the plot or the summary. Well, even if you're gonna watch TV shows, for example drama shows, we must have read its plot before we begin watching. Me, I am not a drama addict but I watched some Spanish dramas such as Mirada De Mujer, and since it is set up in Spanish language, I just read its plot first before I watched it and the story is really nice. If we mess up on reading plots we can have an assurance that we will get into the flow of the story.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Yes u are absolutely right, even i try to read the plots of the movies or soaps before watching so that it will give me an initial idea regarding the theme of their stories. But in some cases i would prefer watching them in new so that i can contain the excitement to watch them. But if the content is out of our reach then we can take the help of the content available and go through it so as to get used to the stories. What say?

ok, you can do watching first and take note of what is happening, then when you're done watching, you can search for the plot, or you can do both, searching for the plot while watching the movie
